Roami at The Esplanade

Great location for the French Quarter. There’s also a boutique food market at the same building which is very convenient. I originally booked a one-bedroom/bath unit; but was surprisedly upgraded to a two-bedroom/2-bath loft. Very spacious. Well-appointed kitchen. Washer/dryer in unit as well.

I booked a trip and wanted to extend the duration a couple nights. Hotels.com told me to get in touch with Roami so I emailed them, but never heard back. New Orleans has a $100 tax on every reservation so making another two night reservation was out of the question. I ended up staying at a roach motel for those two nights to save some money. The place itself is in a great location. It has a small market with all the necessities in the same building. It is new and modern in appearance, yet set in an old brick building. There were a few glaring issues. After every shower I noticed my feet would turn black after walking around on the floors. They need to be mopped well. Also it was very cold for a couple nights and the unit is extremely drafty. I could feel cool air coming in by the windows like they have zero insulation. The mini split was only helpful if I stayed right under it. Since it is rarely cold I don't foresee this being an issue for many people. The last and biggest issue was how incredibly thin the walls are. My unit was one of the last ones down the hall, but I could hear a pin drop at the front entrance with 5 or 6 rooms in the between. I assume the room next to mine was a loft because I heard every tiny foot step up and down stairs and every conversation like the other guests were speaking to me directly. This is very annoying, especially in New Orleans, a city that is geared towards getting a little rowdy.

So close to public transportation and Frenchman and Decatur streets - made our stay in New Orleans very walkable! comfortable bed, very quiet property. Easy to communicate with our contact person.

Nice, historic property that's close to a lot of things. Starting from check-in to check-out... The instructions to get in were a little off (told us to go to a door on the side, then walk through the hall to get to our door, but our door was on the front of the building and not through a hallway. The parking is a little higher than we expected ($25/day). The windows are historic, meaning they are fashion over function. Neither window sealed shut, so we were getting small critters (fruit flies, moths, etc.) In regularly. The doors to the small balcony do not latch shut entirely, so if someone really wanted to climb to the 2nd floor balcony, they could pretty easily break in. There is only 1 TV in the unit, the one in the main living area. No TV in the bedroom. So, if you like to watch TV in bed, you may need to use the pull-out sofa. We didn’t think much about the sound from outside being a problem until night time when the trains (which is right at the stop light nearby) would come by. Apparently trains aren't required to not blow their horns at night because they were definitely blowing the horns excessively all night. You can also hear the screeching from the tracks. There are 2 small closets in the bedroom, but they were pretty dusty, so we didn’t feel comfortable hanging black formal clothes in there, worried the dust would show. Overall, out stay was fine. We probably wouldn't stay here again, only because it was hard to get a good nights sleep.

We stayed on the ground floor which the drapes didn’t cover the window all the way so we had a homeless guy peek in. The door lock is finacky especially if someone had a few drinks. Trying to operate it was difficult. The air condition leaked down the wall and dripped into suitcase that was on the floor getting the clothes wet. Dryer worked so that was good. Everything else was good. Bed comfortable and AC worked great.

Great location for visitors. Very clean and modern and very responsive staff. Only dislike - nice tall windows don't have enough privacy curtain/blinds for nightime in this area. Otherwise a great place to stay in NOLA.

Everything about the was AMAZING, definitely would recommend booking this property on my next visit!
